CLofchik Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Great lures if there's any smelt around, I'm not a fan of the newfangled VMC hooks on them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 They're good, rate them just below EGB's and the Delfin Alligators ( silver plate / red stripe) for specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikeie Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I use them for pretty much anything lol... cast them for salmon, and rainbows, cast or troll them with a plastic grub added to the single hook and they slay pike. Or i even jig them under the ice! the pike love um!... o ya orange stripe or all orange!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) My favourite pier spoon for browns and bows, love 'em. Agreed, can almost hit NY from the Eastern trib peirs with the krocs. Edited March 3, 2010 by Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdve23rveavwa Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 the Delfin Alligators ( silver plate / red stripe) for specs. Now THAT is/was a spoon...still have a couple...nothing caught more bows off the piers in the old days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutologist Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 The hammered Kroc, in brass with an orange stripe seems to mimic a red sided dace quite well. Lakers in certain Algoma district lakes suggest they like this resemblance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I still have a handful of 30 year old Krocs that I take pier fishing with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burtess Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I just Googled the Luhr Jensen Krocodile and the Gibbs Croc...... Looks like I mostly use the Gibbs Croc (as most of the ones in Spiel's pic).... which one is preferred???? Burt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark02 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 The regular Krocodile is OK but I prefer the Krocodile Stubby. At one time, Luhr Jensen called the Stubby the Little Jewel. It's imilar to the Little Cleo but deeper cupped like the Delfin Aligator. 2/5 oz. is a good all around size; 3/4 for salmon. The 1/3 oz. chartreuse/orange-fire-dot Little Jewel was magic for Lake Ontario browns in the days before zebra mussels. PS Call ACME and request the return of topless Cleo on the back of the lure. The engraved headlights were like a beacon calling out to fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdrifter Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 As I recall Gibbs also makes a croc spoon almost identical to Luhr Jensen... I use the 1/2oz all the time. Many a northern have fallen for em over the years! Chris that red spoon with the black dots is a Gibbs if I'm not mistaken. cheers HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burt Chris that red spoon with the black dots is a Gibbs if I'm not mistaken. Well I had to check (I thought a few were Gibbs), but stamped on the back of every one of those spoons it says "Krocodile-Luhr Jensen". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I mostly use the Gibbs Croc (as most of the ones in Spiel's pic).... which one is preferred???? Burt Spiel's look like mostly Luhr-Jenson Kroc's, they're narrower but thicker made out of solid brass. I prefer them over Gibbs, and everybody knows the killer spring colour is solid Firetruck Red with pearl holo tape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScugogBoy Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I used the 2" silver with brown sides on Little Lake up in Barrie almost 25 years ago and could not keep the "hammerhandle pike" off the lure.....slow troll gave it the best action.

singingdog Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Krocs and Little Cleos are almost all I throw. The Kroc comes in a killer rainbow pattern that works well in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehg Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 My favourite pier spoon for browns and bows, love 'em. Agreed, can almost hit NY from the Eastern trib peirs with the krocs. They sound productive if these seasoned anglers give them the thumbs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
